Hello everyone. For some change, i thought it would be fun to highlight some of the fantastic architecture and landmarks of this great city. Night shots are great but as this is colourliving, why not emphasise a little with some artistic licence, or err, photoshop! So, here they are, some of london’s landmarks at night!
I will never tire of seeing st. paul’s cathedral from any angle. It is one of my favourite landmarks in london.
The wonderful shell mex house (in the middle), at it’s best at nights.
County hall (to the right) is another stunning example.
Ah, our beloved millenium wheel.
I love how they light up the concrete buildings at the south bank at nights.
It did strike 9pm just before i took this photo of big ben.
Tower bridge and pink? Hmm, but i urge you to drive over it at night when it’s all lit up. Magical!
Have you visited any of these landmarks and which ones are your favourites? Happy weekend everyone. Don’t forget, the clocks go back on saturday night. Early darkness is upon us.
Looking forward to publish another creative process post on monday. So long folks!
PS. Hot off the Press – I’m going to a rather special Designer Breakfasts next Tuesday 29th October at the Design Museum.

Oooh, these are fun! I love the pretty-meets-gritty of South Bank.
Have a lovely weekend! 😀 xo
Ha. Thanks. Love the ‘pretty-meets-gritty’ description. xx
Love chi’s pretty-meets-gritty! Really fun shots my lovely-particularly love the first one! Have a great morning next week-really look forward to hearing about it xx
Thanks Caroline. Yes, fond of the first one too:-))
Looking forward to the Paula Sher talk xx
Love these and no clue how to do them.
Paula sher is fabulous! Lucky you
Haha. Thanks Carol. It’s a little bit fiddly but also fun!
Yay. Paula Sher is amazing. Looking forward to it.
I have visited them all & love them all. And I concur… driving over Tower Bridge at night is magical. My favourite – architecturally – would be the South Bank buildings. I can imagine you love them colouring that concrete 🙂 I always found the best views in London from Waterloo Bridge.
Love the St Paul’s pic. Great contrasts 🙂
Gxx
London is beautiful!!! Glad you like all Landmarks. There were many more I wanted to include… maybe a part 2!!
I knew you would chose the South Bank buildings. I actually don’t like them but love how they got round their ‘blandness’. The South Bank is so exciting,
especially at night.
My absolutely favourite view is going over Waterloo Bridge. I often do so for that reason:-))
Thanks G xx
Cool. And I never took any of it for granted. Was – and still am – wowed by London’s views! xx
Tina, I love these, you should have them on a wall. My favourite is St. Paul’s (I can’t believe I’ve never been inside), the green background and the red buses look great.
Thanks Alison… ha… not sure about hanging them on a wall but I like the St.Paul’s one best too… x
I’ve been on the London Eye is that the Millenium Wheel? Also driven past St Pauls & Big Ben! Great photos Tina of a wonderful city! Enjoy Tuesday mornings Designer Breakfast sounds like such a cool event. Xx
Yes that’s the Millenium Wheel, also ‘better’ known as the London Eye… thank you lovely.
Just off to the Design Museum now. xx
Love these Tina! Big Ben is my favourite but I also love Chi’s pretty meets gritty shot 😉 xD
Thank you Doris.. hehe… love it how people’s tastes differ:-)) x
amazing photos!!!
Hello and thank you for visiting.
I can’t read your blog:-) but I can look at the pictures.
Glad you liked the photos.
Sorry been out of the loop – very crazy at the mo. Loving these wonderful photos – you’ve made the Photoshop look a hellava lot easier than it is! 😉 xx
Hahaha! Pssst, don’t tell anyone:-)
Glad you’re ok, albeit very busy.. xx
love what you do with photoshop :)I really like the feel of the St. Paul’s Cathedral one.
Driving on the back of your Vespa, over Tower Bridge through fog and then with sunshine back, was so fantastic, something I’ll never forget! Xx.
Oh honey, moments I will cherish forever. Loved having you here xxx
